Every week, we, the MusicRadar team, submit our own personal favourite music videos and clips on the net. Some clips we really like, others are simply comedy classics or oddly intriguing. But all are worth watching…

GuitarBot Vs. Violin "A weird one featuring a GuitarBot (or Robot Guitar) playing with Japanese violinist, Mari Kimura. The GuitarBot is actually listening to Kimura's instrument via Max/MSP, with certain commands being executed depending on the volume and pitch. But, enough explanations. I'll let you guys figure out what the hell is going on." CH

The ReacTable In Action "The amazing Bjork with the equally amazing ReacTable. There's only two of these puppies in the world, one at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and the other with Bjork for her Volta world tour. Unfortunately, Jools Holland pops up at the end of the clip but I'm sure you'll be able to find the stop button in time. Enjoy." CH

Gentle Giant – Two Weeks In Spain live"Gentle Giant: what a fantastic band they were. Despite parading under the guise of a '70s experimental prog rock band dressed as a pub darts team, their music is infuriating infectious – Two Weeks In Spain is a prime example. Catchiness aside though, they were, most definitely, a prog band. The keyboard player has seven keyboards (yep, seven), and drummer looks suspiciously like John McCririck. And it doesn't get much more prog than that." CW
